WALLA WALLA, Wash. -- The Whitman College men's soccer team kicks off its 2010 fall season at noon today (Friday) against the University of California-Santa Cruz in an NCAA Division III neutral-site battle in Spokane, Wash. 

Santa Cruz, an independent in the DIII ranks, will play two more Northwest Conference schools -- Pacific Lutheran and Whitworth -- over the next two days.
